[CUBE] Throwing in the towel

[Chip Everts]

Is that new EyeTV 300 only compatible with European sat.? 
No DirecTV support in US?
If so, I'm frustrated with El Gato! I have an EyeTV with DirecTV and there is way to automatically change the channels (like you could if you had cable) and El Gato told me that a remote control type item was "Just around the corner"- They told me this 6 months ago! I wish my EyeTV was as easy to use as my Tivo. Anyone know how to archive shows from a Tivo (this is the DirecTV Tivo)?
